Difference between Linear polarization and Polarizer

Linear polarization vs. Polarizer

In electrodynamics, linear polarization or plane polarization of electromagnetic radiation is a confinement of the electric field vector or magnetic field vector to a given plane along the direction of propagation. A polarizer or polariser is an optical filter that lets light waves of a specific polarization pass through while blocking light waves of other polarizations.

Similarities between Linear polarization and Polarizer

Linear polarization and Polarizer have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amplitude, Circular polarization, Electric field, Electromagnetic radiation, Magnetic field, Polarization (waves), Speed of light.

Amplitude

The amplitude of a periodic variable is a measure of its change over a single period (such as time or spatial period).

Circular polarization

In electrodynamics, circular polarization of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization state in which, at each point, the electric field of the wave has a constant magnitude but its direction rotates with time at a steady rate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Electric field

An electric field is a vector field surrounding an electric charge that exerts force on other charges, attracting or repelling them.

Electromagnetic radiation

In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, propagating (radiating) through space-time, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy.
